Tho Infants Inheritance.

It is no new assertion this, that we are the
result of our inherited virtues and sins, plus
our circumstances. We cannot stand alone,
we cannot affect to ignore those from whom
we have derived our origin, since they have
placed upon our brow the ineffaceable seal OF
their own characters. Take the new born
babe, lying so helpless, apparently so uncon-
scious, in its mothers arms Surely its mind
is blank and unstained; surely upon it Its
parents may write whatsoever they will.
How mistaken the supposition Behind the
closed lids burn the fires Of untold genera
lions, weaknesses and strength never before
suspected, lying dormant for generation
perhaps, are to find their full development In
this mite of humanity.
Fifty years ago sweet faced woman had
strange, fieeting visions Of beauty; they fit
ted across the horizon Of her mental concep-
ton and were gone. There was within her
neither power Of concentration nor OF execu-,
ton. Now, fifty years after, within this
brain, yet lying fallow, the visions are stored,
and in time those little fingers beating the air
in impotent anger shall unfold to the world
beauties hitherto seen only in dreams. His
will be the power of expression, but the first
dawnings of his keen perception OF the beau
tiful and of his longings after its embodiment
had their uprisings in another soul, and were
transmitted to him, combining there with
elements transmitted from other sources,
until that combination was reached which
gave to him the power to concentrate these
images and to express them.-Julia A. Flisch

The HALF Moons Cruise.

When Henry Hudson, in September, 1900,
sailed up the river which bears his name, in
the Half Moon, he kept log book It is q
very curious document. He anchored in New
York bay, and some of his men, being in.
cautious enough to leave the ship in boat,
were attacked by the NATIVES and killed.
Hudson passed up the river, noting tie diff
ferent points by the way. By his description
one may recognize Spuyten Duyvil, West
Point, Hudson and other places, which were
then in state Of nature. 1t is singular to
remember that when Hudson passed West
Point the virgin forest grew where now
stand the buildings Of the national military
academy. To-day West Point is linked with
the history of great nation.
Hudson saileu up to Albany and returned,
at times taking natives on board and enter.
tanning them. One old man he made very
drunk. The white men did not seem inclined,
however, to risk going on shore They were
once or twice attacked on the way, but their
firearms easily drove the natives away. The
only loss was Hudson's pillow, which native
managed to steal by climbing up to the
stern Of the ship

Swallowed q Menaperie.

M. D'Orbigny, a traveller who was passing
through Guiana, in South Africa, was, when
encamped one night in the edge of q wood,
awakened by what he took to be the cries Of
man in distress. He listened, and heard,
following each other in great rapidity, what
seemed to be scream of terror and despair,
then asupplication, and then cry as of one
dying. The traveller leaped from his couch.
seized his gun, aud hastily woke his Indian
guide.
"Come, this Instant" he cried. There il
some one being murdered in the thicket. Let
us go to his assistance"
Thereupon the cries were repeated, and the
Indian listened. He burst into laugh.
"What do you mean" asked the traveller.
@That, sir" said the guide, lis the ton ton
bird, perched on limb somewhere in the
neighborhood 1t is only piece of mockery.
Presently you will hear him laugh"
And then, in fact, a wild shout as of laugh
ter rang out OH the night air.
The ton ton is a sort Of South American
hooking bird, which has an extraordinary
gift of imitation. 1t is also bird of great
beauty of plumage. 1t is sometimes called
the 1yellow neck" Its feathers are Of lively
colors and its tail is brilliant and spreading.
The natives use its feathers to decorate their
bats with on feast days, and turn their head.
gear into golden crowns in appearance.
The bird mimics almost every sound he
hears, as the parrot does. The inhabitants of
Guiana assert that he can initiate faithfully
the accent Of the English, French and Span
ish. Natural sounds and tue cries OF animals
Of every sort he reproduces very cleverly,
The story is told Of a negro who saw and
heard the ton ton for the first time, and who
exclaimed, after the bird had gone through
his long list of limitations of animals, 3Ha!
him eat q whole menagerie!"-Youth's COM

The Panama Tragedy.

De Lesseps will not hasten to form the
Paris bourgeoisie who have sunk their francs
in the Panama canal that water has flooded
one of the deepest and longest cuts, although
high above the prospective canal work. The
earth and rocks taken out represent a cost of
millions of dollars, but the water has washed
back more than enough to fill all the cuts.
and the work is valueless and the millions
wasted. 1t seems as il the Panama tragedy,
which has cost so many lives and engulfed SO
many fortunes, might as well be ended. The
most trustworthy accounts tell of men dying
like sheep, money squandered upon utterly
Improbable work. very little advance, and

faith in himself may float the project little

Does Sound Rise?

1t is frequently asserted that sound rises.
This is true, but not exactly as one would
understand by the expression. Sound travels
more rapidly through dense medium than
through thin one. Its velocity at the seq
level is about 100 feet per second In water
it will move at the rate Of 4,7OO feet per
second through iron at the rate Of about
10000 feet. In high attitudes, where the air
is thin, it not only travels more slowly but
decreases in intensity. But when ono hears
sound through different densities Of atmos-
phere the intensity or volume Of the sound
depends OH the density Of the atmosphere
where it originates. Thus, one at an elevation
Of 10000 feet in a balloon may hear the report
Of gun on the surface Of the earth-the
sound originating in denser atmosphere
while one directly below could not hear gun
fired from the balloon, because it would origi-
nate in thin atmosphere.

A Monkey and . Dog.

A little incident is told in The Irish Times
about monkey and dog: A brave, active,
intelligent terrier, belonging to lady, one
day discovered monkey, belonging to an
itinerant organ grinder, seated upon bank
within the grounds, and at once made dash
for him. The monkey, who was attired in
jacket and hat, awaited the onset in such un,
disturbed tranquility that the dog halted
within few feet OF him to reconnoiter.
Both animals took a long, steady stare at
each other, but the dog evidently was re-
covering from his surprise, and about to
make spring for the intruder. At this criti-
cal juncture the monkey, who had remained
perfectly quiet hitherto, raised his paw and
gracefully saluted by lifting his hat. The
effect was magical. The dogs head and tail
dropped and he sneaked off to the house, re-
fusing to leave it until his polite but mysteri-
Gus guest had departed.

Ono of tho Famous Pixies,

Probably am the only person in st. Louis
having one Of the famous pixies made by
John Brown to arm the negroes Of his pro-
visional government in February, 1852.
When in Collinsville, Conn.,, Brown ordered
the manufacture Of 1000 pixies by q local
firm, and in 1858 ordered them forwarded to
Chambersburg, Pa, whence they were trans
ported across the country to the Kennedy
farm, near Harper's Ferry. From there they
were scattered around in various places. One
lot was stored in the Mount Vernon (Ala.)
arsenal, which subsequently burned. The
pixies and a lot of metal were afterward sent
to the Rock Island Qlls.) arsenal, to be rolled
into iron, but the mill was never opened up,
and they were scattered around the country
as relics.-Thomas Doughty in Globe Demo-

HOMES FOR woaKlNoMEN.


A Plan Proposed by . New York Busi-
ness Man-The Home Hunger.
George Peabody gave homes to the work.
ingmen OF London. Erastus Wyman. a New
York business man, proposes In The Epoch a
building plan by which he can give homes to
the workingmen OF New York. His plan
combines the work Of building and the life
insurance companies. To illustrator Suppose
a man buys house for $4,000; he will be
be asked to pay $500 down and given four
years at $500 each TO liquidate the balance
II he lives, it Is expected that he will pay the
entire amount; II he dies, the agreement Is
that his wife gets the house and lot without
any further payment. So that, whether the
husband lives or dies, the family Is sure OF
house and lot. The short term insurance for
the amount Of the cost Of the house can read.
lily be put on the mans life, and IL he dies the
insurance company pays to the building COM
pany the amount OF the policy.
Here Is a suggestion for some OF the Boston
philanthropists who do not object to doing
good in way which has in it solid principles
OF business success. The plan Is one which
would appeal particularly to the wives VI
workingmen, the more thrifty and conserva-
tive representatives Of the laboring commu.
nifty. Women whose husbands earn less than
$50 week, and who are obliged on small in
comes to care for their households, feel the
need Of homes OF their own with keenness
which the dwellers in luxurious city flats
never experience and cannot guess. The de.
sire Of permanence is almost passion, and
these women realize their inability to care for
their families in case Of death of their hus-
bands much more strongly than is supposed
by those who imagine that the poor live chiefly
in the cares and pleasures of the day. A home
of her own means great deal to the wife of
mechanic, for example. 1t is an unattain-
able castle in Spain to most of Them To put
home within reach Of more workingmen
would be practical charity which would be

SOCIAL ETIQUETTE.

Manners and Customs Practiced in
Polite Society.
The ethics Of summer hospitality, as dis
cussed by Mrs. John Sherwood, remind US
Of several points on which our etiquette is
very lax. Our American hospitality has gen.
orally taken in the formula. "Come when you
can, stay as long as You like and don't go
away" But country houses are not elastic.
Invitations, therefore, from country house
mean very much, and should be answered
promptly and the engagement kept, not care
lessly ignored. Many hostesses complain that
their guests say, 1--WE cannot come on Tues
day, but we will come OH Saturday"
We are obliged to undo all our ideas of
colonial hospitality, when all ones friends
and relatives come unlimited. 1t is taking
great liberty, and the practice has been
almost discontinued. Neither should a gen.
eral invitation ever be acted upon; wait for a
special and definite one.
